Zusammenfassung:	An introduction to a special journal issue briefly reviews lifestyle & routine activity theories of crime victimization along with the results of several previous empirical studies on this topic. Contributions represent several significant advances over prior efforts: (1) improved measurement of behavior, (2) linking of victim lifestyle & offender opportunity factors, (3) contextual analysis of how the risk of victimization is affected by both neighborhoods & individual behavior, & (4) a domain-specific conception of routine activity. 18 References.
